{"product_id":"drill-stop-40","title":"Drill Stop #40 (3\/32\") - Spring Loaded Depth Stop for Sheet Metal Drilling, Zinc","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis drill stop fits #40 drill bits (0.098\" \/ 2.49 mm), the standard drill for 3\/32\" rivets and 3\/32\" clecos. The zinc (silver) spring matches the colour of our \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/3-32-cleco\"\u003e3\/32\" C Series clecos\u003c\/a\u003e, so the right stop is easy to pick out of the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA drill stop is a spring loaded depth stop that locks onto the shank of the bit with a hex socket set screw. Only the length of drill you leave exposed can enter the work, so the bit cannot go any deeper than you set it. As you reach depth, the rounded steel nose settles on the panel and the coil spring takes the lunge out of the breakthrough, instead of letting the chuck slam into the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat matters most on a #40. It is the thinnest bit most builders use, and the moment it punches through and grabs is when it snaps. A stop keeps the plunge under control, keeps chuck marks and dents off the skin, and keeps the bit out of whatever sits behind the panel, whether that is a control cable, a wiring loom or the far wall of a fuel tank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pilot Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45872017113197,"sku":"CDS-40","price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/2041\/4573\/files\/CDS-40.webp?v=1789635976","url":"https:\/\/www.pilotgear.com.au\/en-nz\/products\/drill-stop-40","provider":"Pilot Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
